The video now has over 217,000 views and people can’t get enough of the adorable koala.

A spokesman for the park said: “Building on the fact that James is an extremely clingy koala who loves nothing more than cuddling up to zoo keepers whenever they enter his enclosure, keeper Liz decided that whenever she would enter the enclosure she would say ‘James, the floor is lava’.

“Sure enough he couldn’t get off the floor and into her arms fast enough.”
